For the Ground Beef
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Creamy Lemon Feta Honey Sauce
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1–2 tablespoons warm water (to thin as needed)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Assembly
- 4 large soft wraps or flatbreads
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Make the Creamy Lemon Feta Honey Sauce: In a bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, plain Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth. Gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm water to thin the sauce to a creamy, drizzle-friendly consistency.
- Warm the Wraps: Heat the wraps in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30–60 seconds per side or warm briefly in the oven until soft and pliable, making them easier to fold and eat.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of the creamy lemon feta honey sauce over each warm wrap. Top each with cooked ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
- Serve: Fold the wraps tightly to enclose the filling and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired for added freshness and color.
Notes
- For a lighter option, use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
- The sauce can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust the honey amount in the sauce to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Warm the wraps just before assembling to keep them soft and pliable.
- Add extra veggies like bell peppers or olives for more Mediterranean flavor.
